Happy Birthday, Steve & Gary!

A new year has arrived, along with, as usual, a birthday for everyone's favorite foul-mouthed portal turrets. The Inkwell's got some new polish on it, along with lots of white, grey, and red streamers and balloons. There's also an "Aperture Science Turret Redemption Unit" sign hung up above the door outside, which elected some flat "Ha. Ha."s from the boys.

Still, it's a party, it is fun, and everyone is welcome! Let's celebrate!

Simon's up next, with a can of something wrapped in a pretty yellow bow. "Hey guys, happy birthday," he says. "Hope you like it!"

"Thanks, Simon," the turrets reply.

Gary is the one to pull off the ribbon. "Okay, what is this stuff," he says, focusing his laser on the text. "Aperture Brand Complete Waterproofing Gel. Want to make sure we don't suffer any accidents, huh?"

"Thanks, but just because we know our own company -- you have made sure it's safe for everybody?" Steve adds, just a little jittery.

"Yeah, just in case we ever get a leak or something like that," Simon nods. "And we've had this for a month and tested it thoroughly. This stuff actually works and is not toxic or liable to goop up your insides. We're all safe."

"Whew! No disrepect, you know, it's just -- Aperture," Steve says. "But thanks for thinking of that!"

"Thanks a lot!" Gary agrees.

"No worries, I get it completely," Simon chuckles. "Why do you think we bought this a month in advance? But I'm glad you like it. Happy birthday."
